― The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)Chris: Don’t ever let somebody tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they’re gonna tell you that you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.

Jaden: You know what wasn’t fun? It was that he was ALWAYS in character.Will: [Laughing] Well, you know, when you get old your brain doesn’t work as well, so you gotta stay focused and stay in character. You could go and you could have a good time between takes, but it was harder for me.Jaden: But… I’d be like, we’d be in the trailer, and I’d be like, “dad, can I have an orange juice?” and you like, “sorry, Christopher, we can’t afford an orange juice”.

Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me. You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.

Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something. Not even me. All right? You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period.
